One of my earliest memories of public school is that of my teacher trying her best to explain a simple mathematical equation to me. After several failed attempts that nearly drove her over the edge, my response was, “I still don’t get it.” Strangely, she soon developed a nervous tic. At the end of the school year, she retired from teaching and moved to a place called Happy Acres. I wonder why.

To this day, there are things I still don’t get. For your reading pleasure, I have made a sample list of a few things I don’t understand and probably never will:

The difference between “affect” and “effect” (I never quite got that one either)

How pharmacists can read prescriptions

Rap music (That’s an oxymoron!)

A million channels on cable TV and nothing decent to watch

Facing eternity without Jesus in your heart

I’m sure you have your own list of things you just don’t understand. Maybe we can compare lists sometime over coffee. By the way, have you ever wondered how coffee can smell one way and taste another? I just don’t get it.
